🛒Ingredients
- Refrigerated cinnamon rolls – forms the ‘pie crust’ for your apple pie bites and the glaze to drizzle over the top.
- Apple pie filling (coarsely chopped) – adds the sweet apple flavor.
How to Make Easy Apple Pie Bites
Step 1: Heat oven to 375°F and spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2: Separate the dough (there should be 8 rolls). Press each one into and up the sides of the muffin cups to form your pie crust. There will be one roll per cup, so you should have 8 cups total.
Step 3: Spoon about two generous tablespoons of the apple pie filling into each cinnamon roll.
Step 4: Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the rolls are golden brown. Remove them from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes.
Step 5: Place a piece of parchment paper under the wire rack to catch any drips, then take the icing that came with the cinnamon rolls and drizzle it over the top. Enjoy!
Tips & Tricks
- Feel free to substitute your favorite pie filling flavor in place of the apple filling in this recipe. I love apple desserts for the fall, but blueberry, cherry, and peach would all be delicious too.
- For an easy way to add even more pie flavor, you can make a brown sugar crumb topping and sprinkle it over the apple pie filling just before baking. Chopped pecans or walnuts make a great addition too.
- These would be terrific with some homemade caramel sauce in addition to the cinnamon roll icing. You can also add whipped cream and a fresh apple slice just before serving. Top it off with some ground cinnamon and nutmeg for that apple pie spice flavor.
- When pressing the apple pie filling into the muffin cups, be sure to press down in the center to create extra space to hold the filling.
Place them in an airtight container and store at room temperature for 1-2 days or in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can also place them in a freezer bag or Ziplock bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
